Magic stream today:
- No news or details on MTG Portal app
- Masterpieces will come back in Standard sets in some form. 'Collector portion is underserved'
- No MTG Arena mobile fate decided yet.
- Ultimate Masters began as Graveyard masters and they went all-out instead
- Wotc not phasing out Modern, pay attention for something in Feb
- They're not making budget cuts to coverage, they're increasing...?
- No coverage announcements until everything is nailed down
- Matchmaking for Ranked draft changing to weigh heavily on win/loss vs ranking
- Best of 3 - jump two slots. However, bug that treats all Bo3 games as Bo1 in terms of winning/losing affecting rank..?

The Finisher
It's been a week, y'all. Mythic Invitational, Mythic Edition, coverage going away, coverage returning, Nexus, Pauper, the judge program, and by god The Mountain Goats. Just like Hanukkah, a small quantity of news oil miraculously lit the show's menorah for eight crazy nights. So since we have naught but 6 more days until the next Magic Mics, what, pray tell, do you think will be Magic's next major announcement?
